A remarkable fusion of contemporary aesthetics and functional ingenuity, this luxury exterior design project encompasses a grand two-story home and expansive terraces that gracefully navigate a hillside terrain. Visualized by NK Interior, this design delivers a seamless integration of beauty and practicality, resulting in a truly captivating outdoor sanctuary. Unique vistas are created all around the sprawling terraces and tiered pools. Elegant hanging chairs sway in the shade, mini decks float sunloungers over the sparkling blue swimming pool, and a shallow plunge pool makes an extraordinary ceiling over a unique parking garage. Mature trees push through the sharp, linear architecture, rooting the house in the landscape and creating canopies of natural beauty.
